Technical Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for video processing. In one aspect, filtering is applied after applying a set of offset values to one or more coefficients. The application of an offset value may be based on a determination as to whether the coefficient meets a threshold value.

Patent Claims
7 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.

Claim 4

Original Legal Text

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the offset value is based at least in part on a quantization factor or quantization parameter value.

Plain English Translation

This describes a video processing method that first applies a set of offset values to one or more coefficients and then performs a filtering operation. The decision to apply an offset value to a coefficient is based on whether that coefficient meets a predefined threshold value. Specifically, the magnitude or characteristic of this offset value is determined, at least in part, by a quantization factor or a quantization parameter value used in the video processing pipeline.

Claim 6

Original Legal Text

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the frequency multiplier is 2.

Plain English Translation

This describes a video processing method that first applies a set of offset values to one or more coefficients and then performs a filtering operation. The decision to apply an offset value to a coefficient is based on whether that coefficient meets a predefined threshold value. As part of this process, a frequency multiplier is employed, which is specifically set to a value of 2. This multiplier likely influences how the offset values are calculated or applied, or how the subsequent filtering operation is performed, particularly affecting high-frequency components.

Claim 7

Original Legal Text

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the media object comprises a plurality of video images and the filtering operation is one or more of bilateral filtering, deblocking filtering, adaptive loop filtering, and sample adaptive offset filtering.

Plain English Translation

This describes a video processing method that first applies a set of offset values to one or more coefficients and then performs a filtering operation. The decision to apply an offset value to a coefficient is based on whether that coefficient meets a predefined threshold value. The media object being processed comprises a series of video images. The filtering operation itself can be one or more of several specific types: bilateral filtering, deblocking filtering, adaptive loop filtering (ALF), and sample adaptive offset (SAO) filtering.

Claim 8

Original Legal Text

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the set of coefficients corresponds to an entire block of the media object.

Plain English Translation

This describes a video processing method that first applies a set of offset values to one or more coefficients and then performs a filtering operation. The decision to apply an offset value to a coefficient is based on whether that coefficient meets a predefined threshold value. In this method, the set of coefficients being processed by the offset application and subsequent filtering corresponds to all the coefficients associated with an entire block of the media object (e.g., a macroblock or coding unit in a video frame).

Claim 9

Original Legal Text

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the set of coefficients corresponds to portion of a block of the media object.

Plain English Translation

This describes a video processing method that first applies a set of offset values to one or more coefficients and then performs a filtering operation. The decision to apply an offset value to a coefficient is based on whether that coefficient meets a predefined threshold value. In this method, the set of coefficients being processed by the offset application and subsequent filtering corresponds to only a specific portion or subset of coefficients within a block of the media object (e.g., a sub-block or a particular transform unit).

Claim 10

Original Legal Text

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the set of coefficients is a subset of a larger set of coefficients corresponding to the media object, and wherein the set of coefficients are top-left coefficients of the larger set.

Plain English Translation

This describes a video processing method that first applies a set of offset values to one or more coefficients and then performs a filtering operation. The decision to apply an offset value to a coefficient is based on whether that coefficient meets a predefined threshold value. The specific set of coefficients being processed is a subset extracted from a larger collection of coefficients representing the overall media object. Furthermore, this subset is specifically identified as the top-left coefficients within that larger set.

Claim 26

Original Legal Text

26. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program comprising instructions which, when executed by processing circuitry, causes the processing circuitry to perform the method of claim 1.

Plain English Translation

This describes a computer program product for video processing. It includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium (such as flash memory or a hard drive) which stores a computer program. When the instructions within this computer program are executed by processing circuitry (like a CPU or GPU), they cause the processing circuitry to perform a specific method. This method involves applying filtering to video data after first applying a set of offset values to one or more coefficients, where the application of an offset value is determined by whether the coefficient meets a predefined threshold value.
